It sounds silly, but I am thrilled to see snow in London. This is my first time.
7 Jan, It will be a new beginning of my life. A milestone for my life, a brand new start in London - the place that I always dream about.
Making this far was never easy, I have been trying many ways of making it works. Yet, finally I fail at the end. The first one probably is Fabrica, from the high point I was offered a chance to work over there as a trial, even it only lasts for 2 weeks long. It opens me and I can never go back to the way I stay in Hong Kong. So I made a commitment to myself - "Someday, I will leave Hong Kong, for long or short, I have to give myself a break".
A termination of life, a life that I never wanted to be, I always believe that life is more than work, work is important, but, it is not the whole picture of a human being. Especially as a designer, a graphic designer in Hong Kong. Everyone can be a graphic designer as long as you know those software eg. Photoshop etc. So what's the point of being it and I am still searching the meaning.
As you probably know Hong Kong is a city that makes thing never stay, heritage, culture even with its design taste and level, it moves faster than our imagination, but in a bad way. If you are not working in financial, banking or any money making sectors, never think of people will pay attention on you. Designer for layman is just a person who know photoshop rather than a profession that worth to be respected.
I long for this opportunity more than anything. At last I make it. I will treasure this chance as I always remind myself this is never easy.
Tomorrow will be the first day in LCC, I do hope I can experience more as the process is what I am looking for.
By the way, I am a graphic designer that bears a pessimistic and cynical mind. If you want something fairy and happy. Probably another place is better for you.
